ERROR 525 SSL handshake failed

I want to offer a secure website for my fans. So I am waiting.
I have referred my fans to my Instagram account and Facebook.

I did that days before you posted and it worked. BTW, thanks for the solution!

hi guys i have just the tried the following s method.i not sure its is works for you.but i can tell i no longer recive ssl handshake error…

here what i do
jus go to do https://www.sslforfree.com/ for Manually Verify Domain (DNS)

key in the required details

copy the pricate key and cert upload to ssl and in ur free panel

go to cloudlfare enable universal ssl wait for cloudflare to issue ur ssl…

and you set to full mode

this the method i used in cloud flare and the encryption is full have no issue running it now

ps. this is my first attempt to help

.please dont bash me if i help wrongly

That’s a good way to fix the issue as well. The root cause of the SSL Handshake Error was that the default, self signed SSL certificate was removed. But you can still upload your own SSL certificate, and use it to get full (and even full strict) SSL.

The main disadvantage with going this route is that you need to manually renew the SSL certificate every three months. So if you can make your website work with Flexible SSL, you can set it up once and know that it will keep working forever.

thanks @Admin for the heads up

yes.for some reason i did try the following solutions

after 3 month ssl cert was intalled i have reenable the universal ssl cerfiticate in cloudflare.,the cloudflare has reissue the licence for 1 year

here is my url

https://regenerationresources.ml/

u may the ssl license expiere 10/9/2020

Is the SSL issue still not fixed ? i am still facing this error 525 ssl handshake error !!

It’s still not fixed. You can get around that by installing a certificate if you want to use Cloudflare with the “Full” SSL mode, as InfinityFree now has an option on the Client Area that permits to request SSL certificates from Let’s Encrypt and install them on the hosting’s Control Panel. You can check the announcement for that here.

thanks for replying but i am unable to get the free ssl as well and the issue i still not solved !! And i waited for dns cname records to be pushed but it hasn’t worked also

hi there try using the free ssl that available on your vpanel.and see if it work

hi thanks for replying , now i got the ssl from the panel and have enabled the full strict mode in cloudflare but still the website shows error 525
Edit : i had to install it in the vpanel also, that was the step i was missing ! now everything works fine .

hi there me again,
after getting the new ssl the previous made folders are loaded in ssl green lock but the new ones are saying "connection not secure : some parts like images are not secured " while i have literally nothing on the index.html page but it is still saying i have untrusted source links !!
i tried switching from full strict to full ssl mode in cloudflare but that didn’t work !!

You need to change the resources URL on your files to have HTTPS URLs.

That error means that some of the links to images, scripts and/or stylesheets on your page do not use secure URLs. This could be URLs to your own website or to other websites.

If you open your browser’s developer tools menu and check the Console, you’ll usually see warnings or errors there indicating which URLs are not secure. If you can change those URLs to also use HTTPS, that should give your website a green lock.

thanks for replying, i have forced https through .htaccess but i see this error in my firefox console [see attached image] , it says that i have attached my 404 error link but that is not true i don’t get it i have only one h1 heading on the page nothing else no image no js no css ?

Because it means the file you’ve attached doesn’t exist and it returns your 404 file. (seems to be a caching issue)

Looking at your files. They’re forced by http and not https. Have you tried to change it?

I do not see why urls should be censored. Letting us to visit them will help us to understand the actual problem easily :slight_smile:

i have literally nothing except h1 heading and all the error redirect pages are already forced https i checked them. this is the [link was removed as issue was resolved]
edit – and i custom purged everything from cloudflare so i don’t think it to be caching(maybe)

I can see error page also forced to https. Some browsers have ssl caching sorage, So that’s possible that problem is due this if you do not see the error page is forced to https:

For me it has a valid SSL & no error at all.
